Tianmen Fairy Mountain （North Gate） — Attraction in Zhangjiajie

Tianmen Mountain is a spiritual place steeped in legends and customs. It's unclear if the mountain itself pertains to any particular religion but there is a beautiful Buddhist temple at the top. You can take a cable car half way up the mountain which will deposit you close to the bottom of a huge, steep staircase leading to a huge natural stone arch called Heaven's Gate. Don't worry, there's also a lift. After the gate there's a series of long escalators to the top of the mountain. The mountain is topped by dense jungle and the perimeter is a sheer cliff all the way round. There are walkways fixed to the cliff face, some made of glass which is scary. A brisk walk round the perimeter will take about an hour but you should allow two because you will be enticed into the jungle by enchanting passages leading to beautiful places. There's a serene ski lift taking you from the back of the mountain to the centre which I strongly advise you to take a ride on. At the front of the mountain you can take a cable car all the way to Zhangjiaje town. You should allow four hours to experience the whole place. In June 2025 it cost about 500 yuan to visit. Last entry is 4pm. Regardless of which entrance you choose YOU WILL ALWAYS NEED TO START YOU TOUR AT THE CABLE CAR STATION IN ZHANGJIAJIE TOWN and a bus will take you to the other entrance if that's where you're going. Tianmen Mountain is not included in the Zhangjiajie National Forrest...

A caverna está nos precipícios e tem mais de 1260 metros de altitude, a altura da caverna é de 131,5 metros e a largura é de cerca de 50 metros. A caverna é como a porta do céu; parece a junção do mundo comum e o lugar onde Deus vive. O hóspede pode precisar subir 999 degraus para chegar à caverna, será tentado, mas com sorte, porque '9' é o maior número na cultura chinesa e 999 significa uma vida eterna / eterna. Ou você pode pegar a escada rolante mais longa do mundo mais de 5 vezes para chegar à caverna e outras 7 vezes para chegar ao pico!

Há outra maneira de chegar à montanha, usando a estrada sinuosa desde o pé das montanhas até a caverna Tianmen. A estrada da montanha tem apenas 11 quilômetros, mas a elevação sobe rapidamente de 200 para 1300 metros. Noventa e nove rodadas decoram o caminho sagrado e foi construído com mais de cem milhões de investimentos em Yuan chinês, juntamente com um trabalho árduo de 5 anos.

O destaque da caverna de Tianmen são as vistas místicas de nevoeiro e nuvem. Observando a mudança de nuvens e nevoeiros, o sentimento é como viajar para um lugar com perguntas profundas feitas pelo deus. O pico também representa um novo desafio para aqueles que amam a emoção de caminhar pelo caminho de vidro construído ao lado da falésia da montanha ... assustador !!

There is other way to get to mountain using the twisting mountain road from the foot of the mountains to the Tianmen Cave. The mountain road is only less than 11 kilometers but the elevation rises rapidly from 200 meters to 1300 meters. Ninety nine turnings decorate the holy road and it was built with over a hundred million of Chinese Yuan investment together with a 5 years hard working.

The peak also poses new challenge for those love the thrill to walk on the glass walk way built along side of the mountain cliff... scary!!
